It’s time for the puffling playoffs! 🐣

This summer we welcomed two hatchlings to our tufted puffin colony. Our aviculturists chose the name Nori, like the type of seaweed used in sushi, for the older puffling. 

Now it’s time for some friendly feathered competition: a head-to-head ‘bracket’ poll to name the youngest chick! Will it be…

💙Yali 💙Aster 💙Alca 💙Miki 💙Squash 💙Sprout

Vote for your favorite name now!

We’ll be counting the votes and narrowing down the names as the week goes on, so keep an eye on our socials to find out when the next round begins. 👀 May the best name win!

Sharp-eyed seabird spotters may have already noticed Nori, pictured above, in the puffin tunnel as she begins to venture out of her burrow. You may be lucky enough to spot her on exhibit with our other diving birds just past the Open Sea!

Our scars can destroy us. Even after the physical wounds have healed. But if we survive them, they can transform us. They can give us the power to endure… and the strength to fight. // Parents aren't for telling their children who they're supposed to be. We are here to give y'aII tools, help you make fools of yourselves all on your own. Your choices, Clark. Your actions. That's what makes you who you are.

PSA: AO3 HAS BEEN INFECTED WITH AI BOT COMMENTS.

Have you seen one of these dipshits? If you post regularly on ao3, chances are YES, but more likely you didn't notice nor suspect it was a bot. Sometimes they start off nice, or even praise you before getting nasty out of nowhere, like so:

But much like Grok, their newest obsession is nazism.

I don't know where they come from, or what purpose this could possibly serve other than suicidebaiting random people in the internet, I guess; but apparently they've started parroting names from real users to send these comments and shifting their general length to go by undetected. Maybe those are scrappers trying to train 'reviewbots' to be sold as part of some scam service promising to give feedback for newbie writers, who the fuck knows.

Here are more examples of the tone and backhanded compliments you can find in these:

If you regularly post on AO3 or interact with writers in it, please pass this along so they don't feel insane receiving bombs in their inbox. This is ridiculous.

“Fighting that leads to sex” this “fighting then making out” that

Fighting that leads nowhere. Fighting fully clothed, then dragging our tired asses out for a strong drink and some trash diner food. Not talking much. Maybe one of us breaks the silence and says ‘man, I kinda liked that’, and then the other says ‘shut up, jackass’

If you had to pick a different intro music for Cabin Pressure, what piece of music would you choose?

Omfg what a brilliant question

I'd leave everything the way it is but if there was a hypothetical Halloween Episode it should be Arthur "singing" the Cabin Pressure intro in the exact same way he "sang" We're busy going nowhere I'd pay actual money for that

power chords were invented by indigenous (shawnee) musician link wray, who also made history when his song "rumble" became the first and only instrumental single banned from the radio in the us (way back in 1958!!!!!) "rumble" would go on to appear on shows like the sopranos and spongebob squarepants and films like pulp fiction

the bisexuality was there. it didnt change anything. it didn't save anyone. there were just too many forces against it. but it still matters that the bisexuality was there

Autism will lead you to believe there is something fundamentally wrong with you in the way that there always seems to be an invisible barrier between you and other people that stops you from connecting to others no matter how hard you try but at least there is birds
